Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Impale is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 332 million Impaleans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Impalean economy, worth 35.8 trillion Industrial Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 107,706 Industrial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Impale's national animal is the Iron Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Impale is ranked 265,918^th in the world and 9,907^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
